"She's the sweetest girl in school ~ en-
Enthusiastically exclaimed one young miss to
another, as they passed down the street to-
gether. Edith is so kind, and gentle, and
unselfsh, every one likes her. And she
has lovely golden hair and pretty eyes
Isn't it pity her complexion is so bad; it
spoils her looks. And then she has such
dreadful headachesp The girls skipped
along but it happened Edith's mother had
heard what they said. 1t set her thinking.
What could be done for those headaches
and the rough, muddy complexion, that was
such a trial to her gentle daughter She
recalled what she had read of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, and on the spur
of the moment she slipped into drug store
and bought supply. Edith took it faith
fully, with the result that it cleared her
disordered blood, relieved the headaches,
made her skin soft, fair and rosy, and now
she is not only the sweetest girl in school"
but the most beautiful.

new literary star. In the spring of 1853, he
says, a poem came to him from writer who
was altogether unknown to him. He was at that
time editor of Household Words. 1t was printed.
and the writer was asked for more. Next yeer
when Dickens was dining with Barry Cornwall
he showed the proof of the Christmas number
of the periodical and said that there was poem
of great merit in it by a certain Miss Berwick
Next day he found he had been speaking OF the
poem in the presence of the writer and her
mother. For Miss Proctor the eldest daughter
of Barry Cornwall, was Dickens's Miss Berwick
Miss Proctor had not let Dickens know her real
name and address, because Dickens was a
friend of the family and she did not wish to
embarrass him by sending in poetry which he
might wish to refuse.
